When AI generates evidence, shapes corporate decisions or draws on copyright-protected works, who bears responsibility—and how should the law respond?
These questions brought together researchers from Georgia, Germany and Italy at our international research seminar on AI and data law. Six groups explored copyright and AI training; liability for AI-generated output; AI regulation and public law; AI in legal and corporate decision-making; access to data under the EU Data Act; and the boundaries of human creativity in AI-generated works.The programme connected questions that are too often discussed separately. How effective are reservations of rights against AI training? How should courts assess AI-generated evidence? What does the business judgment rule mean for directors who rely on AI? And how can collective actions address harm caused by AI systems?The seminar provided an opportunity to examine these questions across jurisdictions, challenge assumptions and develop the participants’ research through discussion.Thank you to everyone who contributed their work, and to RA Prof. Dr. Sergi Jorbenadze (TSU Tiblissi) as well as Nora-Marie Fuchs at the University of Münster’s Institute for Information, Telecommunications and Media Law (ITM) for coordinating the programme.
